Diisopropyl Naphthalene Market: Overview
Diisopropyl
naphthalene is a chemical used as an additive in pesticides to inhibit the
sprouting of potatoes during their storage. The structure of diisopropyl
naphthelene is similar to other plant growth regulators. Diisopropyl
naphthelene is a clear yellowish brown liquid with faint sweet odor. It is
insoluble in water and is a strong oxidizing agent. Vigorous explosive
reactions might take place when it comes into contact with aromatic liquids.
Exposure of diisopropyl naphthalene to eyes may cause eye irritation. When
sprouts start growing from the potatoes, the starch present in the potatoes
converts into sugar. This makes potatoes unhealthy to eat. The potatoes also
darken during frying. This is unacceptable in the food processing industry.
Furthermore, consumption of sprouted potatoes may cause potato plant poisoning
and may lead to diseases such as diarrhea, vomiting, and stomachache. Effective
sprout inhibition is a major factor of managing stored potato quality. If
proper sprout control is not maintained, considerable reduction to tuber
quality will occur, and the ability to store for extended periods of time is
diminished. On a small scale, sprout control is carried out by storing potatoes
in cold temperature (380 F to 420 F). Potatoes sprout when they are stored in high temperature and
moist environment. The other names of diisopropyl naphthalene are
2,6-Diisopropyl Naphthalene and Naphthalene,2,6-bis(1-methylethyl-).
Diisopropyl
naphthalene is applied directly to potatoes via conventional aerosol units or
duct systems. It is sprayed only once and the potatoes are then kept stored for
30 days before their commercialization. Timing of application is critical with
the sprout suppressants. These sprout suppressants are most effective when
applied at peeping, or before sprouts are one-eighth of an inch long. Delay of
application may result in sprout suppression failure.

Diisopropyl Naphthalene Market: Key Segmenta
The
diisopropyl naphthalene market can be segregated in terms of end-user
application in potato warehousing. Asia Pacific and Europe are expected to hold
major share of the diisopropyl naphthalene market due to the high demand for
potatoes in China, India, and Germany.
In terms
of region, the diisopropyl naphthalene market can be divided into North
America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to account for dominant share of the diisopropyl
naphthalene market due to high consumption of potatoes in China and India.
Europe is also anticipated to constitute key share of the diisopropyl
naphthalene market owing to large scale production of potatoes in Germany,
France, and the U.K. Increase in consumer awareness about the presence of
glycoalkaloids in sprouts – glycoalkaloids can cause adverse health effects
such as vomiting and nausea – is estimated to drive the diisopropyl naphthalene
market during the forecast period.
